Rep. Ilhan Omar on Tuesday referred to congressional Republicans as “these goons” in a speech at an event organized by the Women’s March.

The outspoken Minnesota Democrat addressed a small crowd near the Reflecting Pool at the U.S. Capitol at a noon event called “Black Women in Defense of Ilhan Omar.”

“We’re here to defend the right of Black people to speak about what happens in this country, and we are here to stand with Ilhan Omar and other progressive women. We want the GOP and 45 to back off and we want the Democrats to step up.”- @BarbaraRansby on why we#StandWithIlhanpic.twitter.com/jDtoRbf7dW

"I am extremely proud that finally we've elected someone to Congress who speaks out … on behalf of all people who are oppressed," says Angela Davis of Congressmember Ilhan Omar. She adds, "I'm also quite afraid for her. We know she has received many death threats." pic.twitter.com/flJsDeUVug

Ms. Omar spoke about growing up in a Somalia in the aftermath of colonial rule and knowing from the earliest age that, in her own words, “no human being was ever, ever going to tell you you were less than them.” She pivoted to describe a similar antagonism she has witnessed in Washington.

“The things that upset the occupant of the White House, these goons in the Republican Party, many of our colleagues of the Democratic Party is they cannot stand that a refugee, a black woman, an immigrant, a Muslim shows up in Congress thinking she’s equal to them,” Ms. Omar said.

The Women’s March organized the event to show solidarity with Ms. Omar, citing President Trump’s sharing of a 9/11 video that associated her comments at a recent speech about the American Muslim community and the terrorist attack.

Why do ALL these women defend this Somali woman who married her brother to defraud US. She is a terrorist leader. Beware what you all are supporting. I am white with a black daughter in law with 3 children so I am NOT a racist. FYI

Yes!!!!! Talk abut vile and demented. She’s vile and all her supporters are demented.
They really should cease referring to her as the Minnesota Democrat and refer to her as the ” incestuous, illegal immigrant from Somalia”……
Blackhawk Down country.

Two kinds of Muslim Jihadists, the Violent Jihadists, and the Stealth Jihadists, guess which kind of Jihadist the MN. Muslim is? Hint she is the same kind as the Michigan Muslim is, and the other MN Muslim Keith Ellison.

that angela david really makes me laugh. she’s a murderer. what the hell is she doing allowed back in this country after hiding in cuba. what’s wrong with us. this omar is repugnant to us because she advocates values that are the antithesis to ours and she and her cronies imagine in their crazy heads they are going to take us over. she talks about our President as if she has actually something to say about our President. furthermore, she does come from a craphole country and doesn’t even recognize it as such because she doesn’t even know minnespolis, once a great American city, is now a somali craphole. get out of my country. it’s that simple. no. really. not complicated. because this will not end well. believe me.

“Judge not by the color of one’s skin, but by the contents of their character”
OK, let us just listen to the character of what comes out of creatures like Ilhan Omar and Maxine Waters mouths. I think they have judged themselves as offensive, hateful and are a insult to rational, intelligent Black women everywhere.
Notice the hateful excreations from most of the Liberal women Democrat mouths.
Not constructive criticism but just hateful greedy demands.

As i’ve often said, MLK would be rolling around in his grave, if he could see how WORSE things are in many regards, now than before he started his marches..

Equal is one thing. Offensive, racist is another. Omar is both. Just like her friends AOC and Tlaib they have no sense of decorum that goes with being one of the highest officials in America. They have turned congress into a circus. I thought Pelosi was awful till the three witches showed up. Now she looks quite tame.

If there was a rally that had signs saying >>”White men in defense of President Donald Frump” <<, that obviously would be a racist & sexist rally. It's only OK if "women of color" or ethnic minorities do it.

And these “women of color” met safely to support their “leader.” If white men had gathered to support Pres. Trump there would be a blood bath by the BLM and Antifa. Talk about racist, disrespectful, misguided Liberals.

Not just that, but all the media would be out there, decrying how evil that rally is… AND how nazi-like everyone in the rally was..

thing is, SHE is the one with the demented views and is tearing apart the country with her garbage lies .. NOT President Trump…. Trump is FOR ALL Americans…
Every time she opens her mouth she spews her hate and lies…

she and her cronies look like they could use a bath. they actually appear to smell bad. it is likely the ignorant anti america anti western anti semitic foul odor of bad breath whenever their mouths are open. seeing someone defecating in the street has more appeal than a view of this ugly bunch.

Concern for who comes into a country is important. What is more important is that we so called intelligent humans want to be free to choose and do abominable things like KILL unborn children and deny the right to disagree with NEW and unintelligible “genders”. Even promoting ways to deform our bodies which have been proven to harm us. Is Trump perfect NO, yet he is 100% better than Obama who lied during his campaign and did abominable things. WAKE UP!

This idiot is the one spewing hate. She needs to have her citizenship revoked, and arrested for treason. Once convicted, she should either be shipped back to Somolia, or be executed. Should she be sent back to her home country, she should be barred from ever returning to the US, under threat of execution.

Her cohort Rashida Tlaib should receive the same treatment, as she spews the same hate.

Omar, stop throwing stones. You have a wonderful life here in the USA unless you feel differently. Our know you cannot speak out against a country except for here. Does this make you feel strong and powerful like some Supergirl cartoon-? If that’s the case go live in a country where your beliefs coincide with that government. No Islamic Laws in America. Religious Laws are not used here. Yes, we have Freedom of Religion. That means to belong to the religion that coincides with our family beliefs or that we were born into. They are not an excuse to commit nor to verify crimes especially murders. You are pushing our country back decades with your bigotry, hateful words, and harmful accusation. Here we get along with each other. We don’t scream racist for everything. We are held accountable for our actions, words, and crimes. Adapt to USA Laws. Stop the blame game. Adapt to our customs and clothing. You can. You are free to change for the better. As long as we hold onto our religious beliefs especially Islam, there will be comparisons and this is what divides people everywhere. You claim Islam is a peaceful religion, however, killing people infidels, homosexuals, and more, is murder, a crime, and one is arrested and has consequences. You cannot live in the USA and still live by the Koran. Decide, Adapt, or Move Out.

Ms. Omar is a card-carrying member of C.A.I.R., a group known to have ties with terrorist groups, like HAMAS. Why is she still part of the Foreign Relations Committee? Should she be trusted with classified materials? Who is she loyal to? We have a Clear and Present danger lurking, and something must be done! Before it’s too late.

Actually there is a path for that to happen. First expel her from congress under Article 1 Section 5 of the constitution. Then try her for treason for conspiring with anti American organizations like CAIR for the overthrow of the US Govt. Upon a conviction for treason a persons citizenship can be rescinded. Then no longer being a citizen she would have to leave and go back to whatever Arab garbage hole would have her. Failing that, try her for sedition of which by her own words she is clearly guilty, then at the very least we could throw her in prison to rot.

Unfortunately, all we as citizens can do is write and call our congressmen. We can’t force them to do their job. It is sad that even in a matter of national security our elected officials would rather play politics then protect our sovereignty. Same with securing our borders.

And since her citizenship was only give because of her refugee status, RESCIND that status…

Well, for openers, charge her with immigration fraud for that little “marrying her brother” trick and DEPORT her America-hating, subversive fanny back where she came from! That will automatically remove her from our Congress. No need to herd the cats in Congress trying to get enough votes to remove her. She will not be in Congress, if she is NOT HERE!

That sounds easy, but IMO NO ONE In the dept of injustice has the BALLS to even mention doing it, LET ALONE the nads to act on it.

Omar is POISON. and does NOT belong in our Congress ! It is one thing to be outspoken, and another thing completely, to be Racist, Prejudiced, and ignorant, yet BLAME OTHERS, where there is NO blame. Black women are NOT oppressed in this Country TODAY ! YES they were at one time, but today, there are plenty of opportunities. This woman will cause terrible problems as long as she is ALLOWED to cause these problems ! Will ANYBODY in power please speak up to STOP this horrible woman from causing even many more problems ?

Omar is a prime example of why we should not accept asylum seekers in America. You take them out of their s**thole countries, feed, clothe and support them, and they complain it’s not enough. I would bet my life that she’d fight tooth and nail not to be sent back to Somalia.

I don’t get it. What has Trump said that was vile? They’re the vile ones. Why do we have to take their accusations like that? For the men defending the southern boarder the ACLU referred to them as a bunch of armed fascists. Of course nothing could be further from the truth.

President Trump is NOT a racist and is not against anyone who is different.. these lunatics, AOC, Waters, Omar, etc.. spew their evil hateful lies to convince everyone that president Trump is against them… NO HE IS NOT..he’s against the garbage that they spew…
they REALLY should shut their disgusting mouths and practice what they preach.. THEY ARE THE HATEFUL ONES…. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE DIVIDING THIS COUNTRY…. I SEE IT EVERY TIME THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTHS….

HEAVEN HELP OUR COUNTRY BEFORE WE HAVE NO COUNTRY… BEWARE THE EVIL YOU VOTE FOR WHEN YOU VOTE DEMOCRAT….

They probably won’t but at least it would force them off the sidelines and require them to vote for all to see where they stand with regard to her bigotry. One needs look no further then the Nazi Germany to know that in times of crisis silence is acceptance and by not at least attempting to do something to stop her they are tacitly supporting if not outright encouraging her.

America Weeps, I agree but I’m not sure it would be possible to get Republicans to vote against her. I think many of them would be scared to death at the thought, especially when there is no possibility of getting a 2/3 vote in either House, and no chance of it even being brought to the floor as long as Democrats control the House of Representatives.

Just trying to bring a little reality to the conversation. Yes, I think it should happen but it won’t happen unless there are major changes through elections.

Leonidas, Agreed. Elections are the ultimate way to make changes, but all it would take is one brave congressman to bring a resolution to force a vote and how they vote on something like Ihlan Omar’s evil would certainly go a long way in whether people would vote to reelect them. So even if a vote would fail, why give them a pass and allow them to remain silent on this?

I don’t think one minority party congressman can force a vote but I’m subject to correction.

While I was looking around I saw some history on expulsions, censures and reprimands, recall and petitions. Maybe others will find it interesting too.

The best and quickest way is for her to be voted out but it may not happen in her Islamic district. It seems impossible to awaken voters. People are much more interested in TV, sports, etc. than they are in the future of this country. Mainstream media rules because of willful ignorance.

Excellent information! I read all three articles you shared. My takeaways would be that there have been occasions where a member of congress has been removed via expulsion which is different from recall in that a recall occurs by a vote of the people and I agree that there is currently nothing in our laws providing for that. That being said Cardoza-Moore certainly lays out a good case for expulsion. The chart in the first article you site is very interesting as it shows that while expulsions are rare, I think it showed five throughout history three all being in 1861 for taking up arms against the US, It seems that there have been a good many cases where a representative was censured or reprimanded for far less then what Omar is guilty of by her own words to date. It seemed that might happen when a resolution was proposed condemning her remarks, but they screamed racism! and congress caved by putting forth a watered down meaningless statement which didn’t even mention Omar by name.
Thanks to Leonidas for sharing this information. This is how we all learn.

While that’ all good AW.. Exactly what GOP member’s gonna call for her removal? THEY ARE COWARDS, scared of their own shadows.. Let alone the media/the dems calling them islamophobic for daring to call for her removal.
SO none of them will push for it.
AND THE DEMS ARE ALL in league with her.. SO again they won’t call for it.

Yeah, but you KNOW that is never going to happen when the Dem SCUM have a majority in the House! The conniving Dems will pander to ANY group–no matter HOW anti-American and subversive–if they think they will vote Democrat!

THEN we need to start ENFORCING our laws on sedition, subversion and the like. Otherwise, kiss our republic goodbye.

“We’re here to defend the right of Black people to speak about….”
You now have those rights. The Constitution and Bill of Rights, which DemIslammunists are adamantly opposed, to are what assure you of those rights.
Kick the Dem party to the curb and come be “free at last.”

“We want the GOP and 45 to back off and we want the Democrats to step up.”
Translation: Stop doing your job of building America so we can do our job of tearing it apart much easier.

in her own words, “no human being was ever, ever going to tell you you were less than them.” And, then call all those that disagree with your stance, goons. Which is a definite name that says we are less then you. Why are you dems so twisted?
